"Opinions? You ask me what I think about a hairy kid winning the Player of the Month in the American Basketball League? TELL YOU, IT'S BULLSHIT, A BALL OF SHIT! Look at his record, he lost to the Bulls in February, lost to the Rockets, and even lost to the SuperSonics. These team stars are more deserving than Kobe Bryant to win the Month of the Month! "Before the Indiana Pacers play the Los Angeles Lakers at home, Reggie Miller stood in front of the camera for an interview.

"The Lakers are a bunch of villains! Bastard! Bruce Bowen put me out injured for two whole months! Look at how many people in the league they have done this kind of evil deeds! Crazy Sprewell is just like me! I don't know why such a player can be on the basketball court? Miller chattered that the Pacers were a team that could make the playoffs, but because of his injury, they are currently in 10th place in the East, and unless a miracle happens, the team will not be able to make the playoffs.

"In this game, I'm going to shoot 10 threes on Kobe's head! He never stopped me! He's just a rookie, and rookies need to be taught. I don't understand why so many players in the league humbled him? Could it be that he was David Stern's illegitimate son? It's funny, I'm not going to let him, our team isn't going to let him. ”

On March 2, 1997, at a press conference before the start of the game between the Lakers and the Indiana Pacers, Larry Brown, the famous coach as the head coach of the Pacers, was also interviewed.

The head coach of Indiana is in a very bad situation, with the team's offensive and defensive system on the verge of collapse, and the record is quite poor, with only 25 wins and 31 losses at the moment. For a legendary coach, a three-time ABA Coach of the Year and a two-time NCAA champion collegiate defensive coach, such a record is undoubtedly humiliating.

He's been with the Indiana Pacers for four years, and this is the final year of his contract. The team has no intention of renewing his contract, and he has no desire to stay here.

A devastated team lineup, stars who don't match their own ideas. Poor record, no hope for the future. All of this is what tires Larry Brown.

Take this year well and start again in another place. That's what Larry Brown thinks right now.

But the first thing to solve is the Lakers team. Larry Brown is also reluctant to leave the Pacers amid a lot of scolding, as a famous coach has the confidence of a famous coach, and he wants to leave the city in a cheer. If you could, the best way to do that would be to make the playoffs, but this year's playoffs are too hotly contested. Larry Brown really doesn't think he can turn the tables and make the playoffs with the current roster of staff.

Then beating the Lakers may be another very good way.

The Lakers and Indiana Pacers are now undoubtedly mortal enemies, with Bowen sidelining Reggie Miller for more than two months. Putting Larry Brown's last-day glorious retirement in the awkward position of a team that is neither a strong team nor a top pick.

The Lakers are currently No. 1 in the league, although they are about to be overtaken by the Bulls. But the tiger's death is still in danger, as long as he wins against the Lakers, no one can do anything to blame Larry Brown, it can only be said that this year's luck is not good, the team did not enter the playoffs because of various accidents, and did not achieve the desired results.

"Mr. Brown! Kobe Bryant said in an interview with the media, although your team is weak, you are a very outstanding coach! He's looking forward to you playing in a team that deserves your status and has great players, and he's looking forward to playing you at that time! ”

The speech of a reporter at the scene made Larry Brown want to scold his mother!

What do you mean! Discord?

Stir up a wedge between me and the players?

"Kobe Bryant is a great rookie, but he's still just a rookie, maybe he doesn't understand the integrity of the team. Just like Kobe Bryant's style of play, he is a lone player who can never understand the importance of the team. Our team is a whole and every component of the team is excellent!"

Larry Brown said as he swept the Pacers players on the side, looking at the players with strained faces, his face softened slightly, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. That's a tricky question! Dissecting Larry Brown's desire to leave makes the players anxious, will the coach leave us? What kind of person will the coach be next? Why should the coach go?

These questions can drive people crazy!

"Kobe Bryant also said! Reggie Miller is a very talented three-point shooter, but his three-point shooting is too low! If the environment were to be changed and fit Reggie Miller's system and let Miller dominate the game with a three-point shot that is more efficient than a two-point shot, then Miller would be no worse than any superstar. ”

"It's... Kobe Bryant is not without reason. Reggie Miller touched his chin thoughtfully. No sycophant can compare to the praise of his enemies, and neither does Reggie Miller. He fell into Kobe's sugar-coated cannonball and began to fantasize about how cool it would be if he entered a team where he could shoot casually and not be restricted by the coach!

Larry Brown is good at everything, but his restrictions on players are notoriously terrifying. In terms of defense alone, there may not be a few teams in the league that can compare to Brown's defensive construction, but when it comes to offense, Larry Brown's offense has always made the team constipated, made the stars uncomfortable, and given a lot of unimaginable shackles, and no big-name star can get along with Larry Brown for a long time, at least so far.

On the other side, the Lakers players were also in a meeting in the locker room.

"Heck, damn Indiana, even the locker room smells of rotten meat! It's disgusting! "Campbell slapped his nose, and many away locker rooms in the league will have some big or small tricks, and this time the Lakers were 'well treated'.

"Hey! I've been in the league for more than ten years, and you know what it means for them to use this kind of trick? Means they're scared! Fear we have another win on their home turf! Byron Scott smiled.

"That's right! After this game, let them all live in fear! Eddie Jones rubbed his hands up.

And Kobe Bryant was discussing something with Bruce Bowen.

"Boss... Wouldn't that be a little too much. Bowen's eyes widened.

"No, not too much."

"What are you talking about? Kobe, Bruce. "Kirtlambis wondered.

"Happy thing."

"Happy again!? Why are you happy every time you hit a walker? ”
